SD: Small Bar

I drove past this joint the other night and it was packed. Not that a large crowd is an indication of quality food or drink, but am curious nonetheless. Have any CHers been there? What's the verdict so far?

A super hot pan, preheated under the broiler, will help to brown the underside of the steak while the broiler chars the top and cooks the meat through. The broccoli stems will become crisp-tender while the florets get deliciously frizzled.

Think of this as a lighter, fresher take on chicken Parmesan: We ditch the breading on the poultry and let juicy cherry tomatoes stand in for jarred pasta sauce. A little grated carrot adds just enough sweetness to round out the acidity.
